Welcome to my new site. I have started a new project, making hats, blankets and some clothing for the Preemies in the NICU. They are in need of hats to keep their body heat in, blankets to help the parents feel more comfortable with this tiny person that is here too early, and clothing that is made in their hard to find sizes. All the patterns are designed by me. If you like them and use them frequently, enter a donation. All money will be used on the babies. Thank you for visiting.

I continue to add to the stash of gowns and hats for the preemies on a daily basis. I found some cute buttons that I have added to some of the hats. They really look different. I keep trying different colors also. Then I will call the NICU's to see if they need more and I have another in my sites!

This pattern can be made bigger or smaller bu the number of stitches between ch 1 spaces. For a larger one I have 5 stitches between ch 1 spaces, and have 15 rows in the hat. I am working on another one, adding ears on the top and long ear flaps. Pix when done!.

Row 3: Join contrasting color. Join in 1st dc, ch 1, sc in first st 2 sc in next 3 st, 1 sc in next dc. Work a long sc by grabing the sc from first row and pluuing stitch up but making it look like petals are separated. Work each petal the same. Join and end off leaving a 12 inch tail of yarn. Hide all ends except long tail.

Using a yarn needle sew flower to hat around row 10 to 14. Tie and end off hiding ends.

To make bigger hat repeat row 3 and 6 till you have the size you want.

I made the ruffled Hat Pattern and when I was done with it, I folded the ruffle and the first two rows back on the hat. It turned out really different. Cute too. Just a different view does wonders. Try it!

So many people are thanking me for making these patterns available. It all started because I wanted to use up some extra yarn. What better way than to give to the Preemies. Once I really got into it, I had to go out and get more yarn. There are so many new patterns and colors now. I needed one of everything. Then I found my likes and dislikes. I have run out of some of my likes. Now I am finding there are numerous people out there that are doing the same. A big thank you goes out to each and everyone who is doing this........
